In the country of Yemen a 10-year-old girl got married a man who is three times her age. It was difficult for Nujood to leave her parents and siblings. But some time later after the marriage she wanted a divorce. She said that her husband beat and raped her. You see, sexual relations are not allowed in this country till the age of 20 even if the girl is married. Nujood's parents believed the man and were sure that he would take care of their daughter but he didn't keep to his word.

Such cases are rare in this country and marriages of such small girls are allowed only in case parents are not against.
